Also light weight. Easy to work on. BUT there are more than two 727 versions of inside parts and engine bolt patterns. Don't mix them. Well you can mix the plates, baskets and clutches. They will work behind a 383 2 barrel. (Also if the pack has the ASSEMBLED right feeler gap. There also is total gap for entire assembly (very important)) Also do NOT put it behind high horses and torque. You also will be just be one plate and disc short of having a high performance build. There are also different clutch baskets (drums) Those are good for 340-360s but not good for 383/Hemi/440s. That is why the 4 barrel version of 69 Town and Countries are missing the engines and transmissions. Also the disc brakes. 727 with bronze plates were either police or racing builds. A real factory race HEMI/440 will have those. I worked in a tranny shop in the 70s. IF you do rebuild a real police vehicle. Hint: Good source for the heavy duty build. The only thing for direction choice is Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive. LOW is not an option. That is how to can tell it is not a replica. Also anything past D is locked out on the steering column. The column may or may not read that way. Some are locked out on the trans linkage. Nothing stinks like a old Ford FMX. It also likes to spit the special stink, burnt tranny fluid, on you, like a upset camel.

@fpsmith466 2 года назад

Howard Simpson (1892 - 1963) was the inventor of the Simpson planetary gearset which formed the basis of the 3 speed automatic transmission. Ford in the early 1950's was the first company to licence the Simpson patents, however did not produce the Simpson design until the introduction of its C4 and C6 transmission in the mid 1960's. GM licensed the Simpson patents in the mid 1960's with the introduction of the TM-400 and TM-350. However, Chrysler recognized Simpson's design, licensed and introduced the Torqueflite 727 transmission in 1956. Both Ford and GM tried to go their own way but relented once they realized the value of Simpson's design. An interesting era of automotive history.

Nick here is and old school trick on 727s. When I graduated from Auto Tech School AAI in Glendale Arizona I went to work for Plymouth dealer and worked around Mechanics that had worked on the 440 six pack cars and Hemi cars new. And they worked on the old Monaco and Polara 440 Police interceptors . One of the techs told me back in the day they would pull the valve body down and pull the accumulator spring out for the piston on one two shift on the old interceptors . He told me it would make the one two shift firmer and quicker . I tried it an man did is shift quick and hard ! I rebuilt one of these a long time ago at school a student brought in a 69 charger and I rebuilt it at school I was surprised it actually worked . One of my instructors told me to use type F on the transmission he said that real expensive green ATF you buy for racing is just type F with a dye in it. Boy that was a long time ago.

@billjamison2877 2 года назад

Nick. I never had an issue tearing down or assembling an engine. Automatic transmissions are another story.

Thanks a million for giving new life to these classic cars! Bill Jamison from Linglestown Pennsylvania.

@darrylvanholton9056 2 года назад

Just a trick I learned from a ford tech school. (applies to any automatic). Try to install the steel and friction plates with the rounded edges on the inner and outer teeth up. Theoretically, the rounded edges, (made when the plates were made in the die cutter), will allow the whole pack to apply smoother.

My old Motor Transmission manual says to use "Door Ease" stainless stick lubricant on those clutch piston seals for installation. I found a stick of "Door Ease" at a local parts store 35 years ago. It is kind of like a wax stick. I still have that same stick and use it on every 727 and 904 I rebuild. Just smear it on the lip of the seal and on the beveled area on the drum where the seal contacts the drum. I have real good luck sliding the piston in then. It works better then anything else I have tried.

Interesting piece of information about snap rings is that the crisp or non rounded side carries the pressure load of whatever the snap ring is retaining. You can feel the difference by rubbing your finger across the edge. The crisp edge faces away from whatever you are retaining. Find a new snap ring and check it out. I learned this while at tech school learning how to repair transmissions for the dough mixers you would see at a pizzeria or bakery. Pass it on!

Nick I must say I truly enjoyed this video since I also rebuild my 727's also, been a few years, but going to redue one soon, thanks for the refresher course and your personal techniques. My wife came downstairs while watching and told her look how good Nick is, even his wife allows him to use the salad bowl to soak his clutches in tranny fluid. Lol She didn't buy it. I think you may convinced some of the subscribers that they can also rebuild there own 727 or A904 now. Now they can save a ton of money also if need be. Best video to date! Thankyou.

I try to as much as I can to help viewers do their own work at home. You have to see my emails I receive with questions on '' How To''. I answer as many as I can. Always a pleasure. Thanks for watching.

By the way, it was a salad bowl at one time. When it was time to upgrade, took the old bowl to the shop and kept it for many purposes.

If you want it done right, do it yourself.

a good friend of the family is a transmission specialist and ive watched him many a time take apart transmissions and rebuild them..he told me if you take your time and pay attention to what youre doing, its really not intimidating at all..your video just proved him right

Great video. I'll be doing the 727 in my Challenger. I've done Turbo 400s and C6s but the 727 will be my first.

So what nick means is a VERY thin layer between the case and tail housing.. You’re the MAN, Nick! Tell Vascili what’s up!

I love the 727 transmission. To me it is the best. You should watch the videos by Richard at precision transmission. He knows everything about transmission. He has over 40 yrs under his belt.

I can't wait to see Eugene's finished ride. The suspense has been built up more than Nicks Challenger build. I used to own a Barracuda Mod top in that same yellow color. I had to sell it when I went into the Service because my folks were moving once I was in. I wish I still had that Barracuda.

"I need another thou". It pays to check and re-check the fit of everything! By using the vernier caliper Nick was able to find the proper spacing. Good work boys! Loved this video!

Nice to watch a professional work. I have used a paraffin candle or ski cream to install the seals. Paraffin glides well and does not affect the composition of the oil too much.

one thing a tech that rebuilds airplane gearboxes said, was when cleaning, the last clean is with acetone or alcohol so it gets other cleaners and their dried films off the wear surfaces, as they stop oil fron getting in and doing its job the best it can,, Bearings as well,, the room they rebuild bearings in is cleaner than an operating room as well..

As far as I know, the 727 transmission in my 1969 Newport is original and has never been apart. Works Perfectly.

No Nick you got to give yourself more credit than that man from what I can tell you're an expert on the 727 transmission

@Vetteman372 2 года назад

You did good on trans,i have learned more today than 35 years at the ford dealership I work at. This is why 1 or 2 mechanics only do trans overhauls at dealerships

@spudthompson1414 Год назад
